The latest round of the Federal Government’s popular Volunteer Grants scheme is now open.
Community organisations are being encouraged to apply for a share of up to $20 million in funding to support the efforts of local volunteers.
“Grants of between $1000 and $5000 will help community organisations to buy equipment such as laptops, pay for fuel costs, train volunteers and improve their fundraising capabilities,” Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien said.
“Volunteers are the lifeblood of our community and by continuing to help each other and work together, we are building a stronger and safer community.
“I encourage all not-for-profit organisations to apply for the grants to help make the work of local volunteers easier, safer and more enjoyable.”
